Description:
In the Strumming for Jigs and Reels lesson, Flynn teaches the D5 chord, which is used during the examples provided below.
Description:
In this lesson, Flynn teaches us the D5 chord, which is unique to dropped D tuning, in preparation for the right-hand strumming patterns for jigs and reels taught in the next two lessons.
Description:
There are 2 different rhythmic strumming patterns. One for jigs and and one for reels. Here, we follow the Down, Up, Down, Up strumming pattern for the reel. Flynn also talk about types of picks hand placement, accents and overall strumming mechanics.
Description:
The rhythm for the jigs has 2 consecutive down strokes, which makes it counter-intuitive, but gives it a unique sound. The pattern is Down, Up, Down, Down, Up Down, Down, Up, Down, Down, Up Down, and is in 6/8 time and has 2 beats in each measure.
